A Rail of a Good Time: Virginia & Truckee Railroad opens season with great deals

Submitted by editor on Wed, 06/02/2010 - 5:25pm

The Virginia & Truckee Railroad opened its 2010 season with completely booked train rides over Memorial Day weekend. As if channeling the “Little Engine that Could,” the historic railway started right where it left off last year with overwhelming public support. After a sold-out season in 2009, the V&T has expanded operations to Friday through Sunday rides, now through Oct. 31.
The strong beginning to the V&T’s summer operations has tourism officials hopeful the trend sticks.

McAvoy Layne's Mark Twain at Piper's Opera House on Saturday

Submitted by editor on Thu, 05/06/2010 - 3:19pm

As every schoolchild knows, Sam Clemens first used the byline Mark Twain on February 3, 1863, while a reporter for the Territorial Enterprise in Virginia City.

What's not so well known is that he took the name, not as a tribute to the river pilot Captain Sellers (as he wrote in "Life on the Mississippi") but from his facetious way of calling out additions to his bar tab.

Dean Heller spins some tall tales for his hometown friends

Submitted by Kirk Caraway on Sat, 04/10/2010 - 10:22am

I've always liked Dean Heller. We might disagree politically, but my interactions with him have always been friendly. He seems like a truly nice person, the opposite of the what we see in some other Nevada politicians.

But watching him this week at the NNDA breakfast reminded me that Dean's ambition is clearly more important than adherence to truth.

You see, Dean used to come off as a lot more moderate than he does today. As assemblyman and Secretary of State, he championed causes that don't exactly line up with the national GOP's ideology.
